LIEUTENANT-GOvERNoR SMITH.
He Proposes to Maintain His Rights as Pres
dent of the Senate.


Hon. A. G. Smith was at the Grand Hotel
last evening, and talked freely to a Sentinel
reporter with regard to the Lieutenant Gov
ernor controversy. The following interview
occurred:
"Why did you take yeur seat at the
organization of the Senate without waiting
to be elected again?" the reporter asked
81 did it," said Mr.. Smith, because under
the Constitution, as ! understand it. and asI
act upon it until am judicially
informed by the courts that my con-
struction of it is wrong. being elected
at the last session of the Senate

duty in the absence of the LieuteH ant-Gov-
nor to preside at any and all times"
81 tried once in the Circuit Court of
Marion County" continued Mr.. Smith, ito
get an opinion of the court as to what my
powers and duties were. The court failed 10
decide anything concerning it. tried again
and appealed to the Supreme Court of the
State, and asked them to decide what my
Senate in the absence of the Lieutenant
Governor. The Supreme Court declined, also,
to give any opinion concerning these ques-
tions. l thought, and am still of the opinion,
that under such circumstances, no person
else had any right or has now any right 10
perform any duties as President of the Senate.
Certainly not any Senator, Tor the Senate
chose me to do it. Certainly no one outside
of the Senate, because there had been no one
declared elected, or even pretending to be
elected, at the time Ibid those things. And
certainly no one had any right to question
the doing of them. Neither any Senator,
because he was bound by the action of his
own body; and no person outside OF the Sen
ate, because neither the law nor the Consti-
tuition recognizes any such outside person as
a presiding officer in the absence of a Lieu
tenant Governor"
What do you propose doing after the Re-
publican count, with reference to holding
onF"
81 shall be governed by my own conscience
and judgment" he replied. 81 am sworn to
support the Constitution of the State of In
diana, and to defend il, and I appreciate the
obligation. In the absence of any judicial
determination / must obey the Constitut ion
and keep my oath as / understand it. l be-
lieYe that the person elected President of the
Senate in the absence OF the Lieutenant
Governor has the right to pre-
absence as long as it may continue, and in
this case for the balance of General Man
sons term. That is my belief upon oath,
and, as far as / am informed in any manner,
Il is the belief OF majority of the Senators
in that body. For me, then, to abandon
my position would be a violation OF my oath
end an abandonment of my official duty. III

Shot by Burglars.

PITTsBURe, Pa, Jan. "a special from
Enon Valley, Pa, says: A murderous as
sault, in connection with bold attempt to
buTglarlze the victims house, occurred near
this village at o'clock last evening. At that
hour Robert McGeOrge, a well-known droYer
who is in the habit of carrying large sums of
money about his person and keeping them
in his house, left the latter for an adjoining
yard to milk his COWS. Immediately after
ward party of three masked and disguised
men entered the house with drawn revolvers,
and with a threat to instantly kill Mrs. Nc
George and her two children, restrained them
from making an cutlery. MoGeorge re-en-
tered the house in time to prevent a search
by the robbers, who, on seeing him, opened
fire. He retreated, but not rapidly enough,
receiving two shots, one bullet penetrating
his mouth and issuing from point near the
left ear, and the other lodging in the unfort-
innate mans breast. The would-be muir
deIers then left the premises. McGeorye is
dangerously wounded, but is still alive. The
authorities were at once notified, and are at
present making every effort to apprehend
the guilty parties.

Henry Morris and others organized the New York
Textile Filtering Company, with factory

Cofee-ho 'ses were established in New York City.
Apparently the concern was prosperous. Henry
Morris, Jr., had sole charge, the other members
Of the firm knowing nothing of its fnan-
eial standing Two years ago he began to
speculated in coffee in New York. When Arnold
4 Co. went under he luckily pulled through.
week ago today he was not at his place OF busi-
ness, and days passing without his appearing. In
vestigatiOn began. The safe was burst open, but
nothing was found, not even books, every trace
of the compeny's business transactions
having been destroyed. Protested checks, dis
honOred notes began 10 come in. These
now amount to $4,000. Morris father
and brother deny re has forged
their names to notes ..... frliss but acknowledge
that the father's handsome residence az Washing
ton is mortgaged by Henry he forging his fathers
name to the deed. The assertion that Morris,
when he left had $4,000 in cash, is also denied.
SO great was the amount of paper which
Morris & Co. had on the market that con-
Germs in New York became alarmed and brougt
about the exposure. To these firms Morris told
fabulous tales OF the wealth OF the altering COM
pany. Harvey Morris and A. 4. Nichols Of San
Francisco, son-in-lAw of Morris, Sr., acknowledge
Henry's downfall Morris told no one of his in
tended departure, not even his wife.

FORCE WITH FORCE.
Warlike Talk Among the Old Line DemOc
racy-Resistance to UsurpatiOn.


racy-Resistance to Usurpation.
The threats of the insurrectionists TO seat
Robertson at all hazards have aroused the
ire of Democrats of the old school, who
declare determination TO resist any attempt
10 capture the seat of Hon. A. g. Smith,
the lawful President OF the Senate.
A movement in this direction by Robertson
and the revolutionists at his back would
only serve to fan into a flame the feeling of
indignation over the nefarious work
mspped out by these diSturbers of the public
peace. The people in all parts of the State
are watching the struggle with the deepest
interest, and word is coming in from all
along the line that the rights of the Democ-
racy, achieved after a stubborn struggle
at the polls, must be maintained.
The talk is not of an lncendiary character,
but shows the earnest determination of the
masses that the insurrectionists will be met
at the outset of their revolutionary tactics
with sufficient force TO prevent their at
tempted outrage on the rights of freemen.
There was an undertone of seriousness in
the pleasantries INDUCED in by Democrats
at headquarters yesterday regarding q
repetition OF Watterson's famous order for
100 coo unarmed men. 1t was more than in
timated that If the Insurrectionists should
attempt to carry things with a high hand
there would be no necessity OF call to the
rescue of the peoples interests. In word,
the Democracy is enlisted for the war. and
is prepared to resist all attacks of the
enemy.

OXFORD, Jan. s.-This staid old town is all torn
